The military science program offers courses of study
leading to an academic minor in military science and an officer's commission
in the United States Army. Students may enroll in lower-division courses
without military service obligation. The courses provide theoretical and
practical training in leadership and management principles and applications,
basic military skills and officer responsibilities.

The military science program at the upper-division level
consists of instruction in military skills, tactics, communications, and
practical leadership experience.

The lower-division portion must be completed before enrollment
in the upper division is approved. All students in the upper-division
receive stipends of $350-400 per month for each month in school up to
$4,000 per academic year. Admission to the upper-division program requires
the acceptance and approval of the Professor of Military Science, (585)
395-2249.

Additional military training available through participation
in the program includes, the U.S. Army's Airborne School, Air Assault
School, Northern Warfare School, and Army Nurse Training. Other typical
activities during a semester include field training exercises at an Army
installation, adventure training trips (skiing, rock climbing, laser tag),
and military formals. Merit-based scholarships are available to interested
and qualified students. All scholarships pay for full tuition, a flat
rate for textbooks and an allowance of up to $4,000 for every year the
scholarship is in effect.

the approval of the Professor of Military Science:

A. Completion of a special accelerated "compression"
program of study
